WATERVILLE, QC—Supporting business growth contributes to economic development in Quebec’s regions. That is why Canada Economic Development announced a repayable contribution of $500,000 for Les Pliages Apaulo Inc. This CED assistance will enable the business to improve its productivity by adding a second production line. Created in 1988 by the Compagna family, Les Pliages Apaulo manufactures different molded plywood products for the furniture industry and the corrugated cardboard manufacturing industry. Acquired by Estrie entrepreneurs in 2022, the business will install a second production line to better support its growth by expanding its operations. CED’s funding will focus on the acquisition and installation of a robotic cell for a cutting and sanding station.
